Here's what the site says now:
Dubya is coming to San Diego and LA to promote his energy policy. Let's organize and prepare to "greet" him with a full on protest against his energy policy and for rate caps. Medea Benjamin and others will be here for the protests.
The details on time and date are unknown but we can start preparing NOW with banners, signs, puppets and so on. To volunteer and for regular e-mail updates contact Magali (evenflux@yahoo.com) or call 858-578-4505.
Let's get ready for this protest. The target dates are May 28th and 29th.

The San Diego Protest Against Bush's Energy Policy and FOR RATE CAPS:
Date: Tuesday, May 29th
Time: most likely 9am (not confirmed)
Meeting Place: Front entrance of Camp Pendleton (follow signs off of 5)
Media Contact: NA yet
Join Global Exchange and a coalition of groups for clean, affordable, energy for a spirited protest as George Bush visits Camp Pendleton.
The goal is to make this a big protest. We will demand that Bush ask the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to implement wholesale energy price caps immediately!! For more info: www.powertothepeople.org
Help make this protest! Show up, bring signs and props, wear costumes etc...
Ideas for the protest include:
*The "Ratebusters" (last week members of Global Exchange dressed as "Ratebusters", a la the 1980's movie Ghostbusters, and received great press at the PUC meeting in San Francisco) We can sing revised verses to the "Ghostbustes" theme song.
*It would be great to find a few people who could be on stilts, dressed as electric transmitter towers wearing "energy rate caps" caps.
*People wearing pig masks with the names of the energy generators and GWBush masks.
* We would like people to bring lots of caps with "Ratebusters - Rate Caps" written on them. We're also looking for more great ideas.
We are coordinating actions at Camp Pendleton, in Los Angeles, and in Fresno- everywhere Bush will be making stops on his California visit.
